Friends bring high school prom to dying teen's hospital bed

According to Fox News.com, a Tennessee
teenager who has been battling a rare form of bone cancer for two years
compiled a bucket list after learning her treatments were no longer working,
MyFox8 reported.

On Katelyn Norman's bucket list: going to the prom. The 14-year-old's family
contacted her school district, which made plans for a dance to happen within a
week.

But, Katelyn was rushed to a Knoxville
hospital on March 19 for difficulty breathing. Although she told one of her
teachers that "the prom must go on," the school decided to bring the
prom to her hospital.

Hospital staff decorated her room, and more than 100 people drove to Knoxville's East
Tennessee Children's Hospital to attend the 'dance,' escorted by local law
enforcement agents. Katelyn's date presented her with a corsage and a sash as
more people lined up outside her hospital window, forming the shape of a
heart.

A limo even drove to the hospital in Katelyn's honor.

The prom still went on at the original location, because it was what Katelyn
wanted.

"That's her; and you can't help but feed off that energy, that
life," the unnamed prom organizer told WATE.

Several thousand dollars has been raised to help Katelyn accomplish her
bucket list, according to her website GoFundMe.
